So I'm kinda torn right now....

Do I save for an Evo X to sit along side my IX in a couple of years?
Do I go nuts with prepping my car?
Or do I buy one of the other cars I've always wanted to go along with my Evo IX?

The potential 'other' car....

Oh yeah the specs on the potential new car....

It's a 1275cc 4 cylinder. Puts out approx 50whp through a 4spd transmission. So clearly it's a drag strip monster... But believe it or not this thing actually handles quite well.

Anyone who has driven one will tell you that you can't help but have a huge grin driving one of these, even when you don't get to use all that power.

I used to see a lot of older Mini's in California. The ones that were well taken care of were kind of cool. Much more character than the new ones,

GOOD! That place took 6 MONTHS when I ordered a 3inch turbo back for my old junkgsx. That was ridiculous.

Theres a RHD genuine mini tooling around the eastside - red with a british flag top. Paint looks too good to be original. The guy who drives it around looks to be either "very artsy" or "very emo"

ok, so i found an email for ryan from RnR. here is what he had to say:

FYI, you probably have the older version with the
Precision .48AR that is the only reason the numbers
would be lower. You will probably want to switch to
.63 or .82 ar from ATP

Wow, that's quite an answer.

"Yah, why don't you go pick your money tree and get a different turbo"

Looks when you get into town it should be in the upper 70s or lower 80s depending on the humidity.
